With Knuckles (David Montgomery) shipped off to Houston, Pacheco enters the picture as a clear backup to Gibbs. A shell of his former self after two straight lower leg injuries, Pacheco brings a violent running style that Detroit can utilize in certain situations. After years of this backfield being a two-back fantasy goldmine, those days have come to a close, as Pacheco lacks the speed, vision, and passing game ability that Montgomery had. Currently constituted, this might be the most top-heavy backfield for fantasy purposes, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Detroit add a body or two to this backfield before the season starts. Add Pacheco as a late-round handcuff, but nothing more.

 Isiah Pacheco will miss time with a sprained MCL
Could be ready to go Week 1
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Aug 10, 10:10 am
|  | RB Isiah Pacheco has an MCL sprain but should be good to go by the start of the regular season, per Campbell. (Tim Twentyman on X)
FFToday's Take: Campbell went on to say that he's "not concerned" about the injury. The Lions are not deep at the running back position and any significant loss would likely create a need to sign a free agent or make or trade at the position. For now, we can reasonably expect that the Lions backup RB will be ready for Week 1.
